Deh Siva Var Mohe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deh Siva Var Mohe[1] is a celebrated and widely quoted hymn written by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru.
The hymn is a part of Chandi Charitar Ukti Bilas, a section of the Dasam Granth. In Gurbani (sacred hymns of Sikh Gurus) the word Siva primarily means Waheguru and represents God as, the undescribed, unseen and immortal God in a nirguna sense.[2] Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha in Mahan Kosh defines ‘Siva’ as ‘ਅਕਾਲਪੁਰਖ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ’ (Akalpurakh di Shakti)(the power of Akalpurakh) in this context.[3]
[edit] Lyrics
ਦੇਹ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ ਸੁਭ ਕਰਮਨ ਤੇ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਟਰੋਂ ॥
ਨ ਡਰੋਂ ਅਰਿ ਸੋ ਜਬ ਜਾਇ ਲਰੋਂ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਿ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਜੀਤ ਕਰੋਂ ॥
ਅਰੁ ਸਿਖ ਹੋਂ ਆਪਨੇ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਕੌ ਇਹ ਲਾਲਚ ਹਉ ਗੁਨ ਤਉ ਉਚਰੋਂ ॥
ਜਬ ਆਵ ਕੀ ਅਉਧ ਨਿਦਾਨ ਬਨੈ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਰਨ ਮੈ ਤਬ ਜੂਝ ਮਰੋਂ ॥੨੩੧॥ [1]
देह शिवा बर मोहे ईहे, शुभ कर्मन से कभुं न टरूं
न डरौं अरि सौं जब जाय लड़ौं, निश्चय कर अपनी जीत करौं,
अरु सिख हों आपने ही मन कौ इह लालच हउ गुन तउ उचरों,
जब आव की अउध निदान बनै अति ही रन मै तब जूझ मरों ॥२३१॥
Translation: O Lord grant me this boon, that I may never avoid doing a good deed.
Never shall I fear the enemy when I go into the battlefield and always ensure my victory .
That I may teach myself this greed alone, to learn only Thy praises.
And when the last days of my life come, I may die in the might of the battlefield.
-- Guru Gobind Singh
